    So I took the case for the transmission off. It had the oem gasket on it from 1983. And it ripped(not surprised). But I need to know what kind of gasket material I should get and what thickness. Or even better a super cheap gasket. Please help

    The gasket was already ripped from last owner. That's why it was leaking oil.

    I think you can buy a center case gasket separate.

    I had this happen on a '71 Suzuki Ts-125 I was building. I used pro- seal silicone from BIG A auto parts. The tranny had one little weep dripping of oil. After assembling it with silicone. I drained the trans, washed the seam with rubbing alcohol and applied the silicone and put a spot light on it all night. That fixed the leak. Since it was my sons ride every so often I spilled some oil under the bike just the razz him.

    nice work!..the oil can bit! a mate used to do that at a big Harley joint. all the Harley riders would gather to shoot the sh*t on Saturday morning and while they were inside lookin at new ones he would walk along dropping a squirt of sump oil under the bikes and stand back to watch the antics

    The son would wash the floor and put newspaper down overnight and I'd hit the paper with oil.

    I did it to his GSXR 750 and told him his bike was picking up bad habits from parking too close to the Harley's.

    That's not very nice but it's funny. Love the oil thing. I got all my gasket stuff sorted out and I'm gonna be putting a new gasket in it tomorrow. Thanks everyone

    Lesson here is when you can get a new gasket , just buy it. I only make a gasket when one cannot be found. I believe the centercase gaskets are .5mm.

    It was the clutch cover gasket. I found it and I've ridden a few times already
